TMT INVESTMENTS PLC

("TMT" or the "Company")

Half year report for the six months to 30 June 2012

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

In the first half of 2012, TMT Investments PLC ("TMT" or the "Company") continued executing its strategy of identifying promising investment opportunities in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications ("TMT") sector.

During the period, the Company invested US$4.5 million across 6 companies. In May 2012, two of our portfolio companies had revaluation events. The One Page Company Inc. raised new equity capital, which triggered the conversion of TMT's convertible note into The One Page Company's equity at a 20% discount to the share price applicable to the equity fundraising and therefore resulted in a 25% increase in the fair value of TMT's investment in the One Page Company, Inc. Gild, Inc. also raised additional equity capital, although at a discount to the equity valuation at which TMT originally invested in December 2011. This resulted in a notable reduction in the fair value of TMT's investment in Gild, Inc.

On the corporate front, in June 2012 the Company restructured its management team by appointing German Kaplun and Alexander Morgulchik, who had previously been acting as Consultants to the Company, as Head of Strategy and Head of Business Development respectively. In addition, Artyom Inyutin was appointed as Head of Investments. Since his appointment, Mr. Inyutin has acquired shares in the Company representing 5.28% of the Company's issued equity capital.

Since 30 June 2012, the Company has made three investments: US$2.5 million in Backblaze, Inc., US$325,000 in Pipedrive, Inc., and US$250,000 in UsingMiles, Inc.

TMT has no outstanding debt and with approximately US$10 million in cash reserves, the Company continues to be well placed to capitalise on the investment opportunities available in the software applications, digital media and internet sectors.

We look forward to updating our shareholders on the Company's progress in the near future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

   1.         Company information 

TMT Investments Plc ("TMT" or the "Company") is a company incorporated in Jersey with its registered office at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, JE1 1ES, Channel Islands.

The Company was incorporated and registered on 30 September 2010 in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 with registration number 106628 under the name TMT Investments Limited. The Company obtained consent from the Jersey Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1985 on 30 September 2010. On 1 December 2010 the Company re-registered as a public company and changed its name to TMT Investments PLC.

TMT is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

The memorandum and articles of association of the Company do not restrict its activities and therefore it has unlimited legal capacity. The Company's ability to implement its Investment Policy and achieve its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and acquire suitable investments. Suitable investment opportunities may not always be readily available.

The Company will seek to make investments in any region of the world.

The financial information relating to the six months ended 30 June 2012 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2011 were approved by the Board of Directors on 25 April 2012. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain any qualification.

These unaudited interim financial results were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 August 2012 and are available on the Company's website http://www.tmtinvestments.com/investor-relations/financial-reports/.

   2.         Summary of significant accounting policies 
   2.1    Basis of presentation 

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited interim results are based on International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, including IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', and in accordance with the accounting policies which the Company expects to adopt in its next annual accounts for the year ending 31 December 2012 and are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

For the purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company currently has one segment, being 'Investing in the TMT sector'. No further operating segment financial information is therefore disclosed.

   2.2       Foreign currency translation 

(a) Functional and presentational currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured in United States Dollars ('US dollars', 'USD' or 'US$'), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into US$ using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising from the translation at the half year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair values. Where financial assets do not have a quoted market price in an active market and their fair values cannot be reliably measured they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of reporting period, in accordance with IAS 39 para 46 (c) exemption.

Where there has been a relevant transaction during the year that gives an indication of the fair value of the unlisted shares, the shares are included at that fair value and the increase or decrease in fair value is recognised in the fair value reserve.

The "price of recent investment" methodology is used mainly for investments in venture capital companies and includes cost of investment or valuation by reference to a subsequent financing round. Valuation increases above cost are only recognised if that round involved a new external investor and the company is meeting milestones set by investor.

The loss arising from a change in the fair value of unlisted shares for the six month ended 30 June 2012 was US$129,544.
